Pacific Science Center(200 2nd Ave N, Seattle, WA 98109)At the base of the Space Needle lies the Pacific Science Center, a place where children’s imaginations can run wild as they seek to discover the scientific world through a variety of interactive exhibits.

Seattle Glassblowing Studio(2227 5th Ave, Seattle, WA 98121)One of Seattle’s great cultural treasures is the art of glassblowing. At the Seattle Glassblowing Studio, talented artists are able to handcraft stunning pieces that range anywhere from the practical, like a cup, to a unique piece of art.

The Space Needle(400 Broad St, Seattle, WA 98109)Those who have never been have certainly heard of the world-famous Space Needle, a 600-foot observation tower that houses a restaurant and a rotating glass floor. Don’t miss out on this West-Coast phenomenon!

Best Kept Secret of the Town:

One of Seattle’s trademarks is its picturesque fields of lush lavender. At Lavender Hill Farm in Vashon, just outside Seattle, you can explore the fields and even stay in their farmhouse lodging for family get-togethers!
